Will ‘hot under the collar’ Caleb cheat as saucy Emmerdale legend targets him?

| Freelance Soaps Reporter Published September 4, 2026 11:59pm Will Caleb stray from Ruby? (Picture: ITV) Caleb Milligan (William Ash) isn’t a man known for resisting temptation in Emmerdale. The ruthless businessman is always cooking up some scheme or another in his constant – often not legal – quest for wealth. His appetites don’t stop with greed either. Caleb’s got a penchant for revenge if anyone gives him a reason – and Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) ripped out his kidney. That’s why Caleb took great delight in orchestrating an epic revenge against his organ-harvesting enemy by helping Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) to jilt Joe on his wedding day and flee to Spain with her ex Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) . Caleb finally took revenge on Joe (Picture: ITV) The revenge worked well. Too well. The dramatic events of Joe’s wedding hell led to a shocking car crash which claimed both the lives of his bride-to-be Dawn and Jimmy King (Nick Miles). It’s hard to think of anyone as conniving, power-hungry and just plain bad as Caleb Miligan. Or at least, it was. Now Emmerdale’s ultimate villain Sadie King (Patsy Kensit) is back in the Dales just in time to bury her ex-husband Jimmy, who she’s been apparently having an affair with this whole time. She’s back! Sadie made her return to the Dales in style (Picture: ITV) Affairs are Sadie’s bread and butter. Let’s not forget she had a rather steamy affair with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) back in the day, not to mention her passionate dalliance with the king of Dales hard men himself, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordely).

Patsy Kensit recently spoke to Metro about the experience of reuniting with Jeff after a twenty year absence from our screens, and how Sadie reacts to seeing Cain again. ‘I had quite a daunting day with Jeff Hordley where we shot about eight or nine scenes, and it was all about putting that relationship to bed. There is a lot she reveals about what happened to her after he left her on the runway. There were two ways of playing it, and Jeff is such a brilliant actor – as is everyone on the show.’ ‘I’m learning so much every day, as I did years ago. It’s an education. But we decided to play against that and make it a real conversation between two people that had shared some time together, and I think that was the right way to do it. It ties things up.’ Sadie’s got history with Cain (Picture: ITV) However, she also teased a potentially fresh romance… with none other than Caleb himself. This might come as something as a shock to fans, especially seeing as Caleb is very much not single. He’s married to his co-partner in revenge, Emmerdale’s answer to Lady MacBeth Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly). But since when does something like a committed relationship stop Sadie from getting what she wants? That’s something she’s got in common with Caleb, who famously did the dirty on Ruby with Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh) until his scorned wife exposed it. But it seems that Sadie’s got big plans for Caleb, according to Patsy Kensit, who seemed to suggest she’d been filming some recent scenes where Sadie got Caleb hot under the collar. And not just Caleb either. ‘Sadie has got her sights set on Caleb. And Ruby, as well.
